Factor -y^4+14*y^2-2 squared

An expression to simplify:

The solution

You have entered [src]
   4       2    
- y  + 14*y  - 2
$$\left(- y^{4} + 14 y^{2}\right) - 2$$
-y^4 + 14*y^2 - 2
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(- y^{4} + 14 y^{2}\right) - 2$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a y^{4} + b y^{2} + c = a \left(m + y^{2}\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 14$$
$$c = -2$$
Then
$$m = -7$$
$$n = 47$$
So,
$$47 - \left(y^{2} - 7\right)^{2}$$
